Fete to help with renovation costs
ALL roads lead to the Anglican Parish of Warrnambool this weekend as it celebrates its annual church fete.
The fete, which will be held in the church grounds from 10.30am until 1.30pm this Sunday, looks set to offer fun and entertainment for all ages.
Organisers will be hoping for fine weather this weekend, however, there will be ample indoor areas to accommodate visitors.
According to parish council secretary, Lois McKenzie, the day will have something for everyone.
“We have been working hard to ensure the fete is a great success and all we need now is for the community to support us and for the weather to be kind,” she said.
“We have three wonderful prizes for our raffle; tickets will be sold throughout the day and the raffle will be drawn at 1.30pm Sunday.”
Along with the raffle, the church fete will also feature Devonshire tea, a book stall, craft stall, cake stalls, face painting, trash and treasure, barbecue, baked spuds, a sausage sizzle and children’s activities.
All funds raised from the day will go towards the renovations currently underway.
“We have undertaken a huge re-painting project within the church and it is looking marvellous,” Lois said.
“The painting is near completion and next will be stencilling. When seven layers of paint was stripped back before the new paint applied, some wonderful stencils were uncovered.
“These will be replicated on several walls around the church.
“The organ also needs to have some work done to it so that’s another expense that needs to be covered.”
The Anglican Parish of Warrnambool (Christ Church) can be found at the corner of Koroit and Henna streets in Warrnambool.
